North Face - North Ridge

This route comes with a longer approach so I did it as a casual 3 day trip. Great campsites above Hungry Packer and at Topsy Turvy on the way out. Thought I was doing the NW RIdge, and though I am still not totally convinced of what is what, I fell like the route I did was the North Ridge. I kid you not, one of the best routes I've ever done in the High Sierra. Little bit of everything on a classic peak. Only wish it was longer. Time of year is important here. The alpine flavor means this is definitely a spring time route. The first half of the route in the approach gully is most likely not something you want to do in July. This is a May route for sure!!

Same approach from Sabrina as all the other routes. Stayed at a little tarn above Hungry Packer and gained the same rounded ridge to approach the mountain.
